I tested with your kernel FXP030 and FXP028oc. Both kernels wifi tether not works.

With official cm7.1 kernel wifi tether works but after 5 minutes maximum disconnected if the phone locks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
How about 3G/WiFi connection on CM Kernel. Is it stable?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] tek640:
Yes very stable. Didn't notice any problem accept in call volume which is very low.

I don't remember if gps works.

while using shakira 6 nightly i came across warnings my busybox was out of date

installed version is 1.19.1cm7 but warnings said version 1.17 was installed?

weird lol:confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sir_gpm:
if almost every ROM outthere is 2.3.7 why dont take the libs from one of them and fix the camera and fm of this Rom...showing some respect, giving credits to the developer.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Bro, this ROM was built from sources, that´s why ppl doesn´t make it and post it here. There is a thread which ppl are trying to fix this rom to make it 100% fully working. :)

The proposal of this thread is development from sources not using any of libs from stock or such roms.

Cheers,

b1s
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Actually there are quite some stock libs that are and will be used since we don't have and won't have sources. See: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_shakira/blob/gingerbread/proprietary-files.txt

The difference is that for libcamera and FM Radio the needed mods won't be accepted by CM because they are just too hackish. They are not clean and also not compatible with CM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Well maybe s1 who have knowledge will make "proxy" libs to use original ones on CM7?

If old ones not want to work, maybe it is possible to make workaround?

Still not getting, how it is possible to make fully FM and camera work on 2.3.7 GDX and other roms... Why we cant "just" use same trick to make it work?

If CM/FXP want (and they should) keep code "clean and safe" make a "dirty" update like gapps to make FXP/CM fully working...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
Anybody had tried the update 6 already? Using the bundled kernel, is wifi usable or still causing bootloop ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Updates

Dude,

Nothing is being developed for the X8. Check the CM-Nightlies. So, It should work with FXP028/030, and we should not see any changes.

Question: Why, oh why, if Neo, Arc, Play are getting SE regular updates to Gingerbread, why is FXP supporting them, if they already have a fully functional ROM?

We (X8/X10 Mini and Mini Pros) are the ones left behind.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Because of CPU and RAM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
se released tiwlan sources along with kernel

so i only need to patch them ;)

for now wifi is not stable and is not reconnecting after an disconect
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
I use this ROM since 2 days for daylie use. And can say its stable. Thanks for this awesome development
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
I have the same baseband - ending with 015. And the same kernel. Does ver 003 work properly with this baseband?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xpaa:
@karun yes try it ... It will work.

I have already tried...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] g3nesisEXIA:
So im on v003 and still can not see SD card, even formatted the SD blank (FAT32). Anyone know what the problem is?

EDIT: Tried a random 2gb card and it worked, is capacity limited to 2gb? -_-
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sincan01:
No, maybe your sd card have ext* partition.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xpaa:
,@g3nesis i m using 8GB
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] g3nesisEXIA:
how do you get rid/make it work?

@xpaa :eek: i see

EDIT2X: Got a sd formatter program and did some overwrite format, which cleared everything :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
Does it need ext partition or should I remove it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
Test for daily use.

I've installed v003 now and set all my settings and installed my apps.

Installation works fine, till now.

I'll test it for daily use now.

Benchmark in Quadrant advanced is 1057.

Phone runs smooth in menus.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sincan01:
This rom has native app2sd, so you don't need an ext* partition. All you need is just one FAT or FAT32 partition.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ojojoj:
If anyone has problems disabling auto brightness (like me)

I want share modified by me hw_config.sh file (other in this forum dont work) and this file works fine with v003. Just put in to dir /system/etc and replace After what reboot phone and enjoy. Now you can manually set brightness and forget stupid light sensor ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zousoum96:
man i have a 2 gb memory card an di dont have done to it nothing so how could i make a fat partition because i know that for 2 gb memory fat is the right partition and what does fart do?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Mount sdcard to comp

Take backup

Unmount from PC

Unmount from phone

Format

Reboot and check

Reflash if necessary

Also people remember to delete cache of that app before selecting move to sd
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ojojoj:
with v003 for me dont work:

youtube

some games

manual brightness (solved self)

wifi

battery use life to high (compared to minicm and stock), but standby ok.

cant set lcd density (solved self)

crashes after root explorer kill

video rec with stock app

system speed is little slower compared with minicm
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
Manually changing brightness for me it works properly. I have not edited file hw_config.sh.

Just DSP manager not work properly. This app should be updated. Problem not is with rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xpaa:
It would be better (if possible in any version of rom)

-SE STOCK BOOTSCREEN and icons

I am trying some xperia ARC stuffs right now on V003 ..

.....waiting for V004 (for playing mp4 video)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Will be 004 released today ?

Edit:

Battery usage is perfekt. Since today 6 o'clock my X8 needs only 30% Battery till now ;) Thank you again
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] thetrisatria:
i have 1 FAT partition but still cannot move application into sdcard.

set the app installation to automatic, should i changed it to sdcard first?

BUGS FOUND

- got reboot after closing ddms tool (android sdk for mac)

- cannot install angrybird

- cannot mount sdcard to my osx (snow leopard 10.6.6)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PhonerX:
@xpaa

Are the SE icons really necessary?

I think with honeycomb icons it looks even better
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Not true, if you check the nightly changelog here

Latest change for shakira is Nov 2, 2011 4:13 PM (shakira: added include BoardConfigVendor.mk for disabling camera stub (android_device_semc_shakira))
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
p970: Enable FM (android_vendor_cyanogen)

FM: Send FM_PLUG intents for OMAP_ENHANCEMENT devices (android_packages_apps_FM)

Does this mean that FM Radio is fixed?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
no

LG Swift (Optimus) P970

CM bot is adding everything new to rom, maintainers of our bundle need clean it from unused/unwanted/unneded parts.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RockitOut11:
Lol, it is Optimus Black (Maximo Black here in Portugal), not Swift. I have a friend that has one and it has the same bugs that we have in our nightlies. The Optimus Black P970 nightlies started in the same day as ours.

Has you can see today they bring us some fixes in Wi-Fi to our Shakira and to the others MSM7x27 phones ;)

msm7x27: removed obsolete wifi firmware props and configs (android_device_semc_msm7x27-common)

shakira: removed obsolete wifi firmware props and configs (android_device_semc_shakira)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aliravari:
Please do not be disappointed.

Keep the project

We will support you
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
You're wrong. It's not adding device-specific modifications to our ROMs, if you check other devices you'll see that changelog is all messy, but ROM is clean.

FreeXperia continues work with ICS for X8: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335094
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RockitOut11:
just a little question, why this thread is open?

for chitchat about Cm7 and our roms and blablabla there should be opened a thread on General Forum instead of spamming this thread.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stelios97:
wow that's wondrefull!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
thread is still open as blagus clearly states in his ics port thread that fxp will update this thread if and only if fm and/or camera is fixed on our device. they have only stopped weekly updates.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dotsen9:
Yes,that's what they told us a long time a go
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
Exactly, a long time ago so i wish SE would get their heads out of their own ass's n help out, goodwill let alone customer service!

We can all dream though lol
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RockitOut11:
yes but the FXP can close this thread and reopen when they have updates, because from now to that day it will be a long time of spam in this thread

btw, it is confirmed that ICS is only for ARMv7 right? Or there is any way to run it on ARMv6? i'm a little "out" about ICS.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
can't help but agree on first point, ics is being ported by blagus and i think his post said 90% ported so it's a case of watch this space. not to sure if spec requires ARMv7 but i would gladly test if its ported

edit, from the look of this page im guilty of spamming! sorry guys!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
I dont understand blagus post title, he talks about FXP projecto but title says rom FXP ICS Port 90% that means??

ICS for our Xperia x8?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] guelas:
i really think that Blagus just put ICS 90% port as topic title to call for your attention ;)

So this way you will all gonna read and finally stop with the trolling and flaming :)

My 2 cents...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Off topic

but it is a bit bad, a guy goes there all excited, but then he starts reading and it isn't what it is supposed to be xD
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I thought he was actually porting it, lol. I was like "WTF? We don't even have a stable 2.3 and they are already working on ICS?"
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
@ Blagus: I wanna ask if wifi reboot bug (when you turn wifi on phone will reboot) with latest kernel and with nightlies kernels too, and data loss bug (same bug I see in FXP ROM for big X10) will be fixed in future?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
I guess wifi reboot comes from wifi modules and actual kernel being out-of-sync.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Nightly 11 kernel + rom = reboot on wifi.

N11 rom + FXP030 kernel = wifi ok :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
How about 3G connection, is it stable (no hang connection that need reboot). Because now I'm on Nightlies 10 and facing WiFi bootloop and hang 3G connection.

As for low in-call volume I fix it by using libaudio from FXP028 as suggested by one of the forumer...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RaluSiCris:
sensors

what about sensors? in minicm7 they are not anymore in compatibility mode, are from source :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Fix for data loss bug & low in-call volume

I have seen how this bug was solved on X10 (it was solved by replacing netd) so I started to search and finally I got it. I have used netd from kuyaDROID. I tested it for one day on Nightly 11 and data works perfectly.

EDIT: Added low in-call volume fix (libaudio.so from FXP_028) as suggested by deani77

Try to install this fix in CWM Recovery
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
Thanks mate... Install it now...

I also try to fix thr camera by replacing the camera apk and lib from GDX as suggested by blagus. But stuck at FXP bootscreen even I already change the permission.

Update: I think that fix really work. My connection very stable so far without need to reboot like usual.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
already update-13 in CM and I think the kernel is still the same as in the first release(the last time I tried was the update-11 but it still got wifi bug)

hopefully soon we will have an updated-good-working kernel on the next stable release(even without fullmode cam and FM yet)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
@FXP.

Hi Sir. I'm requesting your kind permission to use your kernel source to further the X8 Kernel build.

Also sent you a pm.

As promised by FXP team, I hope they will update the nightlies with the new camera lib. Maybe you can PM blagus as he always visit X8 forum...

Edit: Just visit link given... Camera libs was for 2011 device...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hzu:
Um, care to read it again? SE only helped for the 2011 line.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
I think they sent libs for the X10 to the FreeXperia Team also but still no libs for our X8.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
What reason they do that since X10 was older than X8. Higher price user paid for X10?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
X10 was high-end phone so it got official 2.3 and now camera libs.

miniCM is base CM&FXP.so you can move library from miniCM to CM&FXP.

maybe they stoped CM7 and working CM9

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

miniCM is base CM&FXP,but miniCM can fully work camera.maybe miniCM fix camera.

NO more FXP?

No more FXP updates for X8? Last "news" was "We waiting or libs/sources for FM and camera from SE", now it is completly abandoned? :(

Lets wait for Blagus or anyone from FXP to tell us the real answer.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
@all. I'm confused with all the hoopla.

We've got a kernel has everything I need to work that works.

We've got ROM's where everything I need to work, also work.

And here's the list. Please tell me what more do we need.

Bootloader unlock

Root

Gingerbread

Camera 2048x1536

Video 640x480

Wifi

Bluetooth

Radio

YouTube

Flash (10.3 believe it or not)

Overclock

Gesture

Netfilter

Tethering ( a bit buggy)

Swap file and compcache.

And ofcourse the $100 phone.

What more should we look for.

SE does not support?

This doesn't matter anymore. The X8 we have now is lightyears from the one I've bought more than a year ago.

I ask again. What more do we need?

Fully working official CM rom and forget about all these buggy roms we keep using every day.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Sorry. But that's exactly my point. The "official ROM" also has some bugs in it.

IMHO, we've got a good, dare I say, perfect kernel. But some will complain that it isn't 2.6.32. :-D

We've got ROMs that has worked around limitations that the "official" ROM can't give.

No disrespect but the question remains.

I think there is no hope

msm7x27 include x10, x8, x10 mini and x10 mini pro but x10 is different from the rest

I see that x10 still have the fxp support, so I believe the work on msm7x27 is only for x10 aka es209ra:

https://github.com/freexperia/semc-kernel-msm7x27-ics - no shakira (x8)

and here is the link of shakira: https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_device_semc_shakira

no ics branch like x10:

CM9 IN X8

Hello, I want to give my point of view, is much the scandal that has made for carrying on the xperia x8 ics, but I want to ask ..... so necessary is to have ics at x8? I know you all want the best and newest in our terminals, I think if you can, so simple, remember when we started having CM7, had many bugs, such as camera, sound recorder, etc., without racht but he did, maybe not so good but it did, also thanks to doixanh, we have the camera in 3MP in CM7, which we did not have, in conclusion I think that we should all do our bit to have the best and not divide us, trying to work together and to demotrar FXP team, we did what they could not .....

Hola, yo quiero dar mi punto de vista, es mucho el escandalo que se a hecho por portar el ics al xperia x8, pero yo quiero preguntar.....tan necesario es tener ics en el x8? yo se que todo queremos lo mejor y lo mas nuevo en nuestros terminales, yo creo que si se quiere se puede, asi de simple, recordemos cuando empezamos a tener CM7, tenia muchos bugs, como la camara, grabadora de sonidos, etc, sin embargo racht lo hizo, tal vez no del todo bien pero lo hizo, tambien gracias a doixanh, tenemos la camara en 3mp en cm7, lo cual no teniamos, en conclusion yo pienso, que todos debemos poner nuestro granito de arena para tener lo mejor, y no dividirnos, tratar de trabajar en equipo y haci demotrar al equipo de FXP, que nosotros hicimos lo que ellos no pudieron.....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RaluSiCris:
if we really don't need cm9 or fully working cm7, why cm? :) why we don't buy an another phone? anyway, when I see a finished job for one SE i'll buy that model and I make donations :) what's the sense if all our devs are working to port cm9 on arc, neo, and other 2011 xperia models wich already are getting ics?

hope somebody understand my point

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Precisely what you read. The whole CM7 for X8 is a joke, they never planed on releasing it seriously and quit development a long time before it was officially "released", tricking us all into thinking that we would get official CM7 for our phone, while all we got is an incomplete, buggy rom.
